This is just more evidence that the GDPR was just a set of protectionist laws for EU companies.

These are mainly political purges dressed up as “anti corruption drives”. Not ideal, but at least someone high up is getting punished compared to slaps on the wrist in the West.

That is obviously no longer the goal. It hasn’t been for years now. However, its original goal was to provide “every person on the planet free access to the sum of all human knowledge“.

I'm sure the Wikipedia mods have many great, valid reasons for deleting articles. Unfortunately for the ignorant masses, this has bad optics, since it looks like it runs counter to their goal of "cataloging all human knowledge&quo

Why make a pointless comment when you no longer have anything substantial or interesting to write, or is that an "eastern centric view"?

The CCP's recent yearly subsidies for China's EV industry ranges from $30 billion - $46 billion per year compared to $10 billion - $20 billion per year for the US. A conservative estimate of total subsidies lands China at about $2

Who cares if another country didn’t take advantage of globalism? This doesn’t weaken my argument that globalism is what helped China rise again from centuries of mismanagement and neglect

Sure, but not at China’s scale and no where close to number of industries where China does it. Why? The US was a net importer in order to support the dollar being the global reserve.

What’s worse, tariffs or outright banning the competition from your market? China has done both despite globalism being what has lifted it from poverty. Why is everyone suddenly surprised that globalism and free markets are coming to an end

No, he means that the US will close most of its domestic market to competition just like China has for decades, and the US may start subsidizing and dumping its goods everywhere

My point is a good portion of HN is composed of pirates who don’t like rules and have a higher tolerance for risk. You can dislike that all you want for any given reason both valid and petty. However, what you’re seeing are core values from

Ofcourse. This is HN and not LinkedIn. We have a lot more people here who like bending rules as opposed to following them.

I wish they would release a remastered version of the game with updated graphics and movies, with nothing else changed. The game mechanics were great. Beyond Earth was not good in comparison.

If safety is a lie, then the arguement for massive and overbearing regulation and controls gets a massive boost

by chaostheory 4mo ago
sure, but how else would you better guarantee safety? How else can we avoid annoying guardrails? Besides, it's not like you can't have different agents with skills collaborating

It would make more sense to have specialized versions of Claude instead of having a universal one ie BioClaude, ProgrammerClaude, NuclearClaude, CyberSecurityClaude, et al This would be both safer and less annoying to use.

The agent harness matters just as much as the AI model. Using Hermes or OpenClaw feels like night vs day when using OpenAI’s apps even when using the same exact model. You can even see difference in agent harnesses using the same model in t

You’d only have to worry if we still had a long horizon of peace and globalism. With more potential breaks in supply chains, everything will cost a lot more in terms of time and money.

We had a thing called globalism that drastically reduced costs. Globalism right now is on life support. Given geopolitics, I don’t see how it’s going to survive.
